Discussion (22) ¬

ok….we´re reaching the point where kimmi would have a reason to get jealous – and i think its kinda crappy from will to start hitting on laila the moment her and his bff since kindergarten have a crisis!

Yep, Realistic but major [email protected]#ty move a guy might make but not a Buddy or BFF. That can End 2 friendship forever (weather it works or fails). Sorry Will but your being a Dick. Then again maybe he is testing her? Kim IS like a sister if he going to smack her in the back of the head and Take Laila’s Side.

He might want Proof that she Matters to Laila for real. After all he Knows that Vampires lack human souls and might Need to know Laila different (if not why shes different I.E. none sociopath). I wonder though If Laila being born a Vampire instead of turned Means she got a human soul or a demons? Would seem to me to be 50% shot ether way.
She never turned(died) so what she was born with is what shes got.
He as far as I know dose not Know she is the first Vampire but Knows shes Odd as Vampires go.

Also got me wondering how common are Mainstream Legal Vampires are in this world?

The U.N. estimates that vampires make up 12% of the world’s population. This can go as high as 25% in densely populated urban areas. They also estimate that only 1 in 100 attempts to create a vampire are successful. So vampires are not uncommon, but not threatening a population explosion either. These numbers are, of course, highly politicized.

(I have tons of background info in my head for writing the comic. I could do a whole fake textbook on vampire sociology in the Blood-verse… but it would be so boring. But then again… maybe I could give Laila a blog to publish her thoughts and statistics.)

Ya know…I’m not sure if it’s just the artists style for mens faces, but Williams facial structure looks an awful lot like Pazuzu’s *dun dun DUUUUUN* (that being said, I still think Kimmy is the new reincarnation of Pazuzu and this is just to throw us off the trail)

Kimmy isn’t Pazuzu. The fault lines in that relationship have been shown SO well that the end is almost inevitable. Kimmy won’t beat the fear and every demonstration Laila makes of her powers will only make it worse.

William, by contrast, has NEVER been scared of Laila, even when he should be. To the point where he even hacked her off completely because he treats her as he would any human woman he loved. She put on the big display of ‘I could crush you like a bug’ and he honestly doesn’t care. He has no fear of her at all. That’s either total madness, or on some level he knows there is that between them which can never be broken.

There’s also that strange moment of blackness when the two of them first met, which was never explained. But as a herald of ‘when they are reunited the world will end’ it worked well…

Just looking at this page – Laila is actually blushing. Girls only do that if they are really innocent or really in love. I don’t think our thousands of years old vampire is all that innocent…

William not scared or filled with hate…
But if he was Pazuzu he would be. That is how curse appears to work. Fills Pazuzu with irrational Hate and Human fear as they get closer….Gee who dose that sound Like?

Bad William! You had your chance and you could not hatch it. Now let a Kimmie at least have a chance. William may not be afraid but he can never trust Laila like Kim did and could. I think her feelings for Pazuzu are influencing her feelings for William. I also think that she should let go of the past. The two will get together and then the reincarnated Pazuzu will betray her. This can only happen so often to the point where the hurt is too much to repair.

I figured it OUT! Sheaky!!
Kim called him! He knows Laila been Holding back HE wants to See Why Kimmy afraid!
NOT the Bath tub Laila that Choked him one time but the REAL Laila!

Thing is if so How MUCH dose he know? Is he checking the Power of a OLD OLD Vampire Laila? Or the Demigod and the first vampire!?

And why as a friend that wants to see why Kimmy so scared and whats she dealing with or Government Agent testing a Possible Evil Emanation?

Williams Not trying to seduce her if he was being a true [email protected]#K he could do it better,Hes trying to get her act For real no holding back. In a way that will not Kill him!
Witch strangely Strikes me as the Slimier.

i just read the comments about whether will or kimmi is pazuzu´s reincarnation and came up with a new theory: maybe will IS the incarnation, BUT after all the pain and tragedy trying to be together caused them (and their surrounding civilizations!)laila has sorta given up and is trying to move on….at least until she can come up with a way to break daddy´s curse. after all, there´s no hurry, pazuzu´s soul will be born again and again forever. so why not enjoy her life with kimmi instead of repeating past mistakes and dooming yet another city in the process? this would also explain why kimmi is feeling so insecure in their relationship – because she´s feeling that laila is holding a part of herself back, that she is just her second choice….
